City of Hawley - Wastewater Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft wastewater permit for the City of Hawley's wastewater treatment facility.
The City of Hawleyapplied for a reissued water quality permit for its wastewater treatment facility, which discharges to the Buffalo River. The facility is designed to treat 326,400gallons per day.
The draft wastewater permit requiressampling for mercury four times per year to determine reasonable potential to cause a mercury impairment downstream of the facility. The draft wastewater permit also requires sampling for chloride and sulfate twice per year due to the presence of wild rice waters downstream of the facility.
Water quality permits - or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits - establish specific limits and requirements to protect Minnesota's surface and groundwater quality. Permits are regularly reviewed and updated as they expire, allowing the MPCA to incorporate new information about the impacts of pollutants on the environment in future permits. Permits are enforced through a combination of self-reporting and compliance monitoring.
